Chapter 6. Working with Recorded Data

6.3.2

Modifying Data Entry (DR-PROPERTIES-RECORD)

In the

RECORD submenu, you can also modify the way in which the DMS Go enters data into the file.When operating in the MEASURE menu, a user stores thickness measurement in the active data file location by pressing F 2

(SEND) . Then, the instrument typically advances automatically, making the next point in the data file active. However, you can modify the AUTO-ADVANCE feature to suit specific measurement applications. For instance, when recording measurements into a large grid type file, the physical measurement site may dictate that it’s best to advance by column. Thus, the active data point would automatically move horizontally across the file window, and all the way through the last column before moving down to the next point or row in the file.

Once the AUTO-ADVANCE feature has moved through a column of data, it will then move on the next column or point, and move through all of the rows in that column of data. If AUTO REVERSE is turned ON, when data is recorded in the last row, the next position will be at the last position of the next column. If AUTO REVERSE is OFF (the default position), the next position will be at the first position of the next column.

To change how the DMS Go enters data:

1.

From the

RECORD submenu, use the joystick to scroll to SEND FUNCTION. You can choose from three selections: Thickness,

Thickness + ASCAN, and Thickness/Thickness + ASCAN.

2.

Scroll to

ADVANCE TIME. You can select a time at which the file will automatically advance from 0.0 to 3.0 sec (in 0.5 sec increments).

3.

Scroll to

1st ADVANCE BY. Depending on your file type, the selections can include Row, Column, Location, Point, and Elevation.Set the first advance value to the file component you wish to auto-advance through first.

4.

Scroll to

1st ADVANCE DIR.The options are the FORWARD and BACKWARD directions, which determine whether the auto-advance moves in the direction of increasing (+) or decreasing (-). Set the desired direction.
